According to the department, deputies spotted a stolen Ram 1500 pickup truck parked in the City of Seatac and started to plan to contact the driver, but the vehicle drove off.

A man and a small child in the Jeep sustained serious injuries. The man was later pronounced dead at the scene.

What are the Various Violations under the California Vehicle Code?
Auto accidents frequently occur as a result of the negligence displayed by one or more drivers. Negligent vehicle operation is often used as the defining factor for such negligence. Negligence can manifest in various ways, including texting while driving, lack of attention, or driving under the influence. Regrettably, responsible behavior often takes a backseat to distractions, which encompass:
- Driving above the speed limit is a common cause of automobile accidents.
- Failing to pay attention to or adhere to traffic signals, signs, and other cautionary road notices.
- Neglecting to use turn signals to communicate a driver's intentions to other motorists.
- Ignoring California laws that prohibit talking on a handheld cell phone or texting while operating a motor vehicle.
- Driving while under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances, which accounts for a significant number of daily collisions.
